Fig. .1 is an outside elevation of a screen frame provided with my improved hangers and shown mounted in its operative lower most pos tlon 1n a window frame.

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, and partlv broken away, inwhich the screen frame 1s shown in the reversed upvvardly and outwardlyliiiclinedposition, in which it is releasably held by my improved hangers;

frame being shown lifted so as to disengage the pivot pins from the hanger members, so

as to release the screen to enable its removal.

such as a metal plate, which is provided with van end portion 1, a vertical end portion 2, and a middle inclined portion 3 in which is provided a longitudinal slot i,tl1e upper end My invention mea re improvements in Fi 3 is a view similar to Fi 1 the screen f Martians 13.

The hanger members pivotally engage the pivot pins7 at the upper ends of the slots 4, so that the screen frame 5 can be swung upwardly and out 'wardly to a reverse position, and then moved slightly downwardly, to the position shown in Fig. 2, in which position, the vertical portions 2 ofthe hanger members will engage respectivelvthe oiiter sidesofthe stops 8, thereby releasablyholding the screen frame in such reverseposition, and holding it from i swinging; downwardly therefrord,

To release the screenframe 5fr0m the reversed position, shown in FigfQ, theframe is .lifted slightly until the pins 7 beariagainst theendsof the slotst, the frame is then swung downwardly to the closed position,

Fig. 1, in whichposition it can be fastened releasably by a hook 10 on thescreen frame. The hook 10 is. adapted to releasablfy engage, in the usual manner, a screw eyellmonnt'ed in the sill of the windowlframe, To remove the screen from the window,the

frame is lifteduntil the pins 7 pass ont ofthe slots 4, Fig. 3, when the screen fr 7, at horiwe 5 y be bodily outwardly removed.
